Features Trompe L'oeil and Mural Painting...Great Resource!

The mural examples contained in this book are, for the most part, ones not contained in other books on the subject. In other words it has fresh material. There is much diversity in subject matter, ranging from classical pieces to modern abstract paintings. I believe what the other reviewer was referring to when they stated it has "sculptures" is the trompe l'oeil architectural elements that are featured throughout the book. I disagree that is is not for those of us interested in mural painting. This is not a how-to book, but a pictoral journey in mural painting. It is a nice addition to any art related personal or professional library.

Great For Decorating, But Not For Painting

There was not much to do with the painting of murals included in this book at all. The title is rather misleading. If, however, you are interested in beautiful illusions in sculpture and decorating, this would be the perfect place.
